‘Honoring Ellie’

I am now offering Pet Remembrance sessions in honor our my beloved dogs Ellie and Gabby. I lost my Ellie last October and her death was a shock to our family. It was then I knew I wanted to give back to the community. Just yesterday we lost our other dog, Gabby, and I am truly lucky to have all the precious memories of them that I have. Photos are memories that you will have forever. I am offering the session and an 8×10 free of charge to families going through the loss of a pet. I feel this is my way to honor my beautiful, sweet, furbabies!

Here are some quick ones I took with my point and shoot. I didn’t always feel like lugging my big mama camera around. Photos taken with a Panasonic Lumix

Another self portrait- sometimes that is all I can get!

{when all you have is your phone!}

So I went to the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains for 4 days and we stayed at a Lake house, in the Rumbling Bald Resort on Lake Lure. The weather was perfect (80’s) and only cloudy one day. Here are some quick pics I took with my cell phone camera. I had to edit in PS, but it goes to show you that you don’t ALWAYS need a pro camera to capture special moments. (But my pro camera ROCKS!)
